NASPERS RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT PLAN – PERFORMANCE CONDITION FOR INITIAL PERFORMANCE STOCK UNIT (PSU) AWARDS

At the annual general meeting of shareholders on 23 August 2019, shareholders
approved an amendment to the Naspers Restricted Stock Plan Trust Deed (“Trust
Deed”) to incorporate a performance stock unit plan (“PSU Plan”). At the time of the
publication of the Naspers FY19 remuneration report, the human resources and
remuneration committee (the “Committee”) was still considering the final design of
the PSU performance condition and as such, was unable to disclose the details of the
performance condition for the initial PSU award to be granted to executive directors.
The committee has settled the final details.

Several equity indices such as MSCI Emerging Markets, Nasdaq, etc. were considered,
none of which reflected the global nature of Naspers’ operations, without skewing too
much towards US or non-tech companies. Therefore, and after listening to
shareholders’ input on the matter, the Committee settled on a bespoke peer group.
Originally disclosed in the Remuneration Report, however the Committee is satisfied
that a bespoke peer group is the most suitable approach. Full details of the
performance condition can be found on the company’s website: www.naspers.com.
